NVIDIA 2027 Internships: Hardware Verification
NVIDIAJob Title
Hardware Verification Intern — NVIDIA 2027 Internships
Role Summary
12-week, full-time internship on NVIDIA's hardware verification teams focused on validating GPU and processor designs. Interns work on verification tasks, testbench development, debugging, and validation that contribute directly to product development.
Work is performed within a hardware verification team alongside engineers responsible for simulation, formal checks, and system-level validation.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship for currently enrolled university students (undergraduate or graduate).
Responsibilities
Interns are assigned projects with measurable impact and are expected to deliver verification artifacts, tests, and reports.
- Develop and run verification testbenches and directed/random tests.
- Write and execute test plans; analyze results and document findings.
- Debug failures using simulation and waveform tools; improve diagnostics.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and software engineers to validate hardware features.
- Use formal tools and assertion-based techniques where applicable.
- Present results and status to team members and mentors.
Requirements
Required technical skills and experience for success in the role. Education expectations are listed separately below.
- Familiarity with SystemVerilog, UVM, Verilog, or VHDL for verification or design.
- Experience with digital/VLSI design concepts, functional coverage, and random testing.
- Exposure to debugging and simulation tools (examples: Verdi, DVE, Questa) and/or formal tools (e.g., JasperGold).
- Ability to write test plans and diagnostics; experience with directed and random diagnostics.
- Understanding of CPU/GPU or computer architecture and software infrastructure for hardware validation.
- Programming skills desirable: Python, C, C++, Perl, TCL, and comfort working in Linux.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team under mentorship.
- Nice-to-have: prior verification/internship experience, familiarity with GPU verification or validation workflows.
Education Requirements
Must be actively enrolled and pursuing a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field for the full duration of the internship. Anticipated graduation month and year must be indicated on the resume/CV.
